Feed The Birds Day

Feed the Birds Day is a celebration of the fantastic birds and other wildlife we find around us.

We're running events across the UK to celebrate Feed The Birds Day over the weekend of 25 and 26 October. They are all different, so there's bound to be something for you! Find out what you can do to help your birds, with activities for all the family, guided walks, arts and crafts or simply just great places to buy your bird food as the colder weather arrives.

Find a Feed The Birds Day event near you!

There is so much more you can do for your local wildlife and RSPB staff and volunteers are on hand to help. We've even got a special project for you all - Homes for Wildlife.

Have you made a Home for Wildlife?

We will provide free advice on what you can do in your garden, patio, driveway or even balcony. Just click on the link below to find out more.

Seventy thousand people have so far received our free wildlife gardening advice. The more people who take part in Homes for Wildlife, the better the areas in which we live will be for wildlife! From putting a pot plant on a balcony to digging a garden pond, we hope many thousands of you will take action in your area.

Three of our most familiar birds - the house sparrow, starling and song thrush have large populations in our gardens and need our help. Homes for Wildlife is a great example of important conservation action that anyone can get involved with.

With our Homes for Wildlife advice, we hope we can turn around their fortunes - with your help.

What can I do?

Get free advice to make you home and garden richer in wildlife and carry out wildlife surveys on your doorstep.
